This document discusses the proper uses of "there" and "it" in sentences. It provides examples of how to use "there" to indicate existence or location, or with numbers and amounts. Examples are given such as "There is a pen in my bag" and "There are two people waiting for you." The document also discusses using "it" with adjectives, dates/times, and weather.
